Department of Human Services

I’ve worked in the field for a long time. Can I portfolio out of a field experience class?

Students with at least two years of full-time human services experience in an area related to their concentration in the major may develop a portfolio showing evidence of prior learning in place of one Practicum course. All students must take Professional Internship (you cannot use a portfolio in place of internship). You must ask a faculty advisor to work with you before you begin the process and you must schedule a meeting with the field coordinator to apply for the portfolio options. The department policies for portfolio include the following:

HSP Practicum Portfolio Policies:

B- or higher in ENG 1010 and ENG 1020

Must complete the portfolio within 12 months of completing the faculty agreement form
